I've never grown a turnip before because no one in my family would eat it, but I grew the largest radish in my biology class when I was a sophomore in high school. That was a big accomplishment for me, because that was around the time when I had decided that I wanted to be a farmer. Heck, I still want to be a farmer, but I have to look more realistically into journalism. Sigh. Not that there's anything wrong with journalism. :)

Wish I had gotten to take my radish home so I could show my parents what a great farmer I was, but I gave it to one of the "cute" boys. He really wasn't very cute, but he was one of those popular boys. He asked me if he could eat it, and I really didn't want to let him have it, but I didn't want to be rude, so I let him have it.

I snuck a cell phone photo under the table before he hate it so I'd have something to remember it by, but it wasn't very good. She didn't allow cell phones in class, and my phone didn't have a very good camera. Ah, well. I grow better crops in my garden every year, so it doesn't matter much.

Are you going to try to grow a garden this year, Jennifer? You'll probably be too busy with your baby, huh?
